Adding bug 84032: we need to remember to mark kaffeine-0.6-r1 stable before 
kde-3.4. 
Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-20 05:53:32 UTC
are we going to be marking 3.4.1 stable instead of 3.4.0?

Yes. As I wrote earlier, I think we can mark 3.4.1 stable later today. 
Opinions? 
 
Comment 4 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-22 14:02:10 UTC
Just one more before going on: dev-libs/boost, bug 91936. 
Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-24 07:49:04 UTC
What do you think about marking 3.4.1 stable except for the two packages which  
depend on boost (and the packages that depend on those two packages)?  If we 
don't get a response to bug 91936 in a few days, then we can mark it stable and 
pass the changes on as well.  I would think that a majority of ebuild users 
don't install kdeedu stuff, and this would let the split ebuild users the 
opportunity to upgrade...

I don't think it can be done, it would cause an upgrade downgrade loop for  
those having kde in world.  
But I've got an alternative: temporary use.mask'ing kig-scripting until  
boost-1.32 gets stable, this will only affect very few users. 
 
I'm going to do it later, if it's ok. 
Comment 7 Gregorio Guidi (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-25 15:16:01 UTC
No feedback... and tomorrow I'm leaving for a week, with limited internet 
access, so I'm not going to do the unmask just before going away... but please 
go on and mark 3.4.1 as soon as possible if you think use.masking 
kig-scripting is ok. 
 
Comment 8 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-28 14:36:59 UTC
I agree with the use_masking idea.  
 
What about the kaffeine issue? (I'm not a kaffeine user...) Other than lost 
functionality in 0.6 are there reasons not to mark that stable? After all 
I presume the kaffeine upstream is committed to 0.6 ff anyway... But maybe I 
simply don't understand the kaffeine situation. Is this really a blocker of 
kde 3.4 just because kaffeine >0.4 is missing features? 
 
Otherwise, I'm OK to unmask 3.4.1. Any objections? 
Comment 9 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-29 11:29:30 UTC
OK, I wrote some nonsense again :-/ We can't use use.mask for this because it 
would have the same effect as just removing support altogether - how do you 
mask a flag for ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86 but not for ~x86? And changing the base 
profile(s) is no fun anyway. 
 
What I'm doing now is creating a new rev of kig (-r10). r0 will have no 
kig-scripting support and stable keywords; r10 will have kig-scripting and 
~arch keywords. Users will pointlessly upgrade to r10, but I guess we can live 
with that. 
 
That done, I don't think any objections to keywording 3.4.1 stable remain... 
Please speak out now if you don't want me to do it tomorrow. 
Comment 10 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-30 14:04:17 UTC
Stable on x86 and amd64
